Agreed with the general thrust of this post. I’m trying to do my part, despite a feeling of “PR/social/political skills is so far from what I think of as my comparative advantage. What kind of a world am I living in, that I’m compelled to do these things?”
I should add that there may be a risk of over-correcting (focusing too much on OpenAI and Sam Altman), and we shouldn’t forget about other major AI labs, how to improve their transparency, governance, safety cultures, etc. This project (Zach Stein-Perlman’s AI Lab Watch) seems a good start, if anyone is interested in a project to support or contribute ideas to.
